Separate names with a comma.
Plants were: - camellia 'Scented Snow' (*had 1 flower this winter but it froze so couldn't really judge scent) - camellia 'High Fragrance'...
I planted my 'Venus' in the sunniest corner of the garden, basically sun all day. Although I amended the planting hole with a bit of compost, the...
I've seen fair sized DD Blanchards for as little as $59. Some sources state it produces somewhat less flowers; also, it can reach 50' or more....
The plant I purchased was in great condition. I agree with Ron - sometimes you see the same stock languishing over winter and they look awful....
It's definitely shown growth but I would not say it was vigorous - perhaps a foot or two? It put out a lot of growth after the initial planting -...
I bought from Gardenworks and wrung my hands over the price tag - $199 - but went for it as I couldn't find it anywhere else. Then last year, I...
Hi I'm in New West too! Took me years to decide and to find it, but I planted a 'St Mary' two years ago and couldn't be happier. The flowers...
Just an update on this subject for those who might be considering this route... I finally decided to go for it and ordered a bunch of plants...
Yes, I will definitely do that next year. It is hard to pick off the nice young fruit, but I guess you have to "be cruel to be kind." I carted...
Interesting...probably explains the small size of the tree then. I took all the apples off and was surprised at how many there were. What a...
I don't think it's on dwarfing rootstock. However, I have kept it quite small with pruning. I wonder if I overpruned? I read that summer pruning...
Hmm...I don't think we have bears in our neighbourhood, but there are plenty of raccoons. It wasn't windy either. Maybe all this rain has...
I can't believe it. My apple tree has fallen over. It's not a big tree even though it's about 10 yrs old because I've kept it pruned to about...
I have a h. plantaginea 'Aphrodite' that has fantastic fragrance - very strong but pure. However, I divided it and it never seemed to recover its...
AliceM... I bought my alba at Garden in Gardens in Richmond two Christmases ago. Actually, it is the "mother plant" of the cuttings he is now...
I picked off a leaf and sure enough there were a couple of scale insects near the stem on the underside of the leaf. I don't think the drain...
No seriously. Nada. No fertilizer, mediocre soil, and in a bed that gets quite dry in summer. This spring, I put some compost on it - hope I...
Thanks. The tree grows itself without much help from me, other than my futile attempts to stake it perfectly. It's about 5 1/2 ft tall now so...
No, it's specific only to camellias - does not appear on any other plants in my garden, even those in close proximity. And re-occurs every year....
Trying out my new digital camera on one of my favourites, which thanks to the cool weather flowered for a long time this year. The blooms are...
